Review: MIU PET New Deshedding Tool with Self-Cleaning Function

I don’t know if it’s the short coat or if it’s because I don’t brush him enough but – My God – our carpets are always coated in black hair from that dog!

For this kind of extreme shedding, a standard dog brush is worthless, at least for my shorthaired Lab mix. His coat is smooth, like a beagle or a wiener dog. (Hey, his DNA test did suggest wiener dog!) He also sheds year round.

So what works for coats like this? A de-shedding tool. I can’t tell you what a difference a de-shedding tool makes. You just have to try it if you haven’t. You gently brush your dog with it and the loose hair easily comes out.

What is a de-shedding tool for dogs and cats?

A de-shedding tool is a pet comb with a stainless steel “blade” that uses fine bristles to remove loose hair anddramatically decrease shedding.

It can be used for dogs AND cats.

I use the same size (large) for my cats and my 70-pound dog so you probably don’t need multiple brushes for different-sized pets. It comes in medium, large and extra-large.

The de-shedding brush from MIU PET works just as well as the FURminator and generally costs around half the price.

Brushing each of my pets for just five minutes once a week makes a HUGE difference in decreasing the amount of loose hair floating around on my floors, furniture and clothes.

It also cuts down on my dog’s MAJOR dandruff. Ace, I love you, but you’re gross!
